Hoping you guys can help me out. I see a lot of good reviews about Lollipop but my experience has been horrible. The Internet is painfully slower than on KitKat. I have updated 3 devices (AT&T S5, AT&T S4 and a Tab S WiFi Only) with and all of them have the same internet issue. Over 4G or WiFi it's the same issue. No matter what app or browser I use it's the same issue.
I root my S5 but my wife has the S4 and Tab S and she did not have them rooted. I have rooted and downgraded both of them now to stop the Lollipop update and the Internet speed is back to normal. I have searched for a solution and tried a bunch of different things but the problem is still there. Has anyone else expierenced the same? Any ideas how I can fix? This issue just seems odd to me since it is across a bunch of different devices.
Thanks

As title suggests I did the upgrade and now I have connection troubles. I place my phone at work in an area that has good reception and I come in and out of the room (kitchen) to do my job just as I was doing before when on android and it's not reconnecting. I think it connects via bluetooth ok it's just gear manager but I'm not sure. Thinking I might go back to android at least I had no problems then. Unless anyone could shed some light?

Me and the wife both have connection issues, with the Gear and Note 3's not each other. She's not that bothered, but it annoys the hell out of me. Am on V700XXUCNF1 and Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 using Note 3. When I forst switched to Tizen there were no issues, but with 2 updates the connections have gotten worse. i unpaired the devices and repaired and it made them better, but now battery drain is worse than before, only getting 48 hours or so, before I was on for about 72.

You guys are not alone with this. I encountered the same exact issue with Tizer edition Gear1 and that version of Gear Manager with my Note 3. Samsung is absolutely no help at all, and actually took my watch in for service. What they sent back was my watch (all cleaned up- was pretty nice actually), and back on stock version w/ Android. Of course, zero connection issues after receiving it back.... initially. After 2 days of being on stock Android version, I missed the "iPod" functionality of the Tizen OS with the other apps I used. I reinstalled Tizen on the watch, GM updated to the version listed above, and again- can not connect. I tried a few different things but to no avail. I also called and attempted to b*tch out Samsung, but they don't care. What's even scarier, is that they absolutely no idea this is happening.
I found the Tizen downgrade Android thread in here, put Android and Null 23 on my watch and I'm not looking back. once GM updates again I will try it, but if it doesn't work I'm glad that with at least Android on here it is a usable smartwatch. Hope that helps.
Believe me, you guys aren't alone with the connection issues.
Yup that's just confirmed me to move and try null rom. Don't mind battery life as charging most nights anyway. J
Hi, I upgraded room for tizem, however can not get past the initial menu, the configuration with the cellphone.
I have a Samsung S7562 Duos, which only worked with Gear with Bluetooth connection.
I can connect the mobile phone with bluetooth for gear, but I can not exit this menu, what can I do?
Does the "lenses" feature work for any of you guys? All I've seen so far is it on iPhone. However, their update on the play store states that it's only available on newer phones. Can SnapChat just not detect my face or did they leave us out?
same problem here with the note 5. works fine on the note 4 tho.
Note 5 AT&T here. Snapchst Lenses isn't working for me either. Trying to find out why, but nobody seems to know the answer yet. Tried it on my sisters Note 3 and it worked great.
Having the same issue. I'll try to reach out to Snapchat for an answer

Same issue here with my Note 5. I really was wanting to try it out.
I have the same issue as well - does anyone notice when using the back camera a white circle appears if you hold your finger down? I never noticed this before.
Another note 5 user who is left out with this new feature. I'm supposedly a Beta tester for them too!
Samsung S4
Here is a Samsung S4 rooted phone with Stockware from samsung, android 5.0.1, who is also left out. I got it to work on an xperia z2 android 5.1.1 non rooted.
Does the version have anything to say? Or the rooting?
Snapchat fixed it with Wednesdays update via play store

Yup works for me too. They released another update the same day the original update came.
What I'm more interested in is the ability to change cameras while recording a snap.
I have a Note 5 & I am experiencing the same issue with both filters and lenses. Anybody with a solution please tell.
Mine works on tmobile

I understand there are some issues with T-Mobile and Android 6, but I’ve yet to experience any—perhaps this is isolated to the Nexus 6? FWIW, I got the OTA and, so far, my T-Mobile experience has actually improved since. In an area where I frequently tether, I often got between 1 and 5MBps downstream. Today, with Marshmallow, I got 35Mbps down and I’ve never downloaded this fast at this location.
Anyone one else with a similar experience or negative one?
Cheers.

I agree, I haven't seen any issues at all, my service and dl/ul speeds have improved, no crackling anymore like I had on 5.1.1, and I am currently on the Nexus 6, my wife the Nexus 5, both with Marshmallow

The only problems I've heard are with T Mobile and the new Nexus phone that has been released this year due to some band restriction problems.

Yes, this is the first time that T-Mobile hasn't supported a new Nexus phone

I have been a die hard fan of HTC phones since the droid incredible. Figure its time to try something new. My M7 tried to pop the screen out as I guess the battery bulged. I am wondering if its a good phone and if touchwiz worked out its lag issues I seen in the past. Need a camera that works good as my M7 had that purple haze issue. More so I need to know if foxfi still works on this phone as I have seen many phones stop working. If not will have to look in to root and hope I get a phone not on the latest upgrade so I can root with that one touch root. I need tethering as where I live we have no internet access.
So its this phone or the Google nexus 6 for Verizon and planning to pick up one tomorrow. So any insight is welcomed.

The galaxy s6 edge has the best camera and the best display. Touch whiz is bad for some users but not for me. Try buying the 128gb version, as it is probably the only one not to be updated to the latest base band
Just sent you an e-mail
If you need to root/modify then go for the nexus. If you want a stock android Samsung experience with features like Samsung pay, great camera, light weight then get the edge.
I bought my phone from amazon and got it updated to 5.1.1 via recovery (don't have an AT&T sim so was not able to receive OTA). I am somehow dissapointed by the slowness of this phone. I am coming from a Nexus 4 and in many cases, it outperformed my s5. Has anyone else experienced sluggishness? I also have mobileIron installed for corporate email so I am not sure if this can make the phone take a performance hit.
I have noticed it being slow too, I tried to unroot it so i could update it, but trying that bricked my phone!
Oddly enough I have a nexus 4 too and going back to that for now it seems faster too.....
